I installed Tab Mix Plus addon as soon as I installed Firefox.  It adds 
features to Firefox that I find very useful.

This is the session manager I use.  Now when I installed it, it did ask 
if I wanted to use the default Firefox manager or the Tab Mix Plus one.

 From the Firefox site, there are some settings in about:config to 
change the sessions settings.

 From http://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore

You can change

browser.startup.page = 3 - Resume sessions always. Default is 1 (open to 
the homepage at browser.startup.homepage)

I still think Tab Mix Plus is a better manager as it gives you some 
options as well.  Handy when you get one of those sites that causes a 
crash when you try accessing the page.
